Martin Carroll

@J8_97 @AdamPrescott1 @ThatSalopian @hbrooks_coach You don’t leave Liverpool to sign for Madrid and Bayern if you’re a shite player lol. Mascherano won everything at Barcelona, he was a great player too. I know but I was trolling as the other guy deliberately left these players out.

@MACarrollCFC @AdamPrescott1 @ThatSalopian @hbrooks_coach The same Xabi Alonso that Benitez wanted to replace with Gareth Barry 🤣 he was great but he wasn’t at a consistent elite level throughout those years. You can’t compare Mascherano with the players Lampard played with Lampard had Drogba for 8 seasons 🤣

When it comes to the debate between Gerrard, Scholes and Lampard, I’ll be honest, I don’t think Scholes and Lampard come close. Gerrard was a tier above. That is in no way an insult to two of the greatest players of all time, it’s just how good Gerrard was. Gerrard could do everything they could , they couldn’t do what Gerrard did to the same level or consistency. He was more skilful, creative, technically better and more rounded, more versatile, he was on another planet to them both physically and played for a much worse team. He’s also the greatest clutch, Roy of the Rovers player I’ve ever seen in the UK. It was absurd the amount of times he dragged Liverpool to glory from despair. I’m not buying into the “didn’t win a prem narrative”. Football is a team sport and there is far more to it than that. If he’d have joined Chelsea or Man Utd, he would have won tonnes. R9 never won a champions league , he’s still the most devastating and greatest striker I’ve ever seen.

@J8_97 @AdamPrescott1 @ThatSalopian @hbrooks_coach Protect him 😂 Alonso was there from 2004-2009. Mascherano was there 2007-10. Both went to Spanish giants after so he had some elite midfielders too. You can’t either!! FL had shite strikers like Pizarro, busted Torres/shevy. SG had prime Torres, Suarez. Who got more assists?

@MACarrollCFC @AdamPrescott1 @ThatSalopian @hbrooks_coach Lampard had Makelele, Ballack, Essien, Terry, Carvalho and so many others in midfield with him and in defence to protect him. Gerrard had players like Lucas Leiva, Skrtel, Agger etc for the majority of his career. You can’t rewrite history lol, we all watched it

@AdamPrescott1 @ThatSalopian @hbrooks_coach Again, running away from the FACT he cost them their best chance of a premier league due to his huge mistake. You make out Gerrard was doing it every week when it fact it was Lampard producing goals and assists most weeks to help Chelsea win. Hence he got more in his career

@MACarrollCFC @ThatSalopian @hbrooks_coach Again focusing on one game, as I said. Narrow minded

@AdamPrescott1 @ThatSalopian @hbrooks_coach He literally let Liverpool down in the best chance of the league title in 25 years but ok mate 😂😂 Only had PFA player of the year up front but yeah, Chelsea has the better team with Kalas making his debut at CB that day 😂 Schwarzer in goal. Even had some Egyptian guy at RW

@MACarrollCFC @ThatSalopian @hbrooks_coach How many times did he drag them to points in matches where they looked dead and buried. Your focus again is on trophies, players he’s compared to had a better all round team around them. But of course, your mind is too narrow to comprehend that.

@AdamPrescott1 @ThatSalopian @hbrooks_coach Ah course, he was the man to lead Liverpool to victory over Chelsea in 13/14 and help them hold onto a 3 goal lead vs palace in the next game with his all-round elite CM ability, yeah? Liverpool needed that to win the title, did he do it?

@MACarrollCFC @ThatSalopian @hbrooks_coach Not what he said at all, if you actually use reading comprehension. His point was that if Liverpool needed something he was the man to do it. Scholes himself admitted he couldn’t have done for Liverpool what Gerrard did.

@ThatSalopian @hbrooks_coach Apparently it means he scored or assisted when he needed to but this didn’t actually lead to winning the title unlike Scholes and Lampard who did it multiple times

@hbrooks_coach “He’s also the greatest clutch” what does that mean?

@__olanre @EconomyComments @hbrooks_coach Lampard in 09/10 season is the greatest midfielder of all time in the PL. Nobody can match those numbers

@EconomyComments @hbrooks_coach Gerrard performed better than Lampard in the 10 tho.

@PrimeRibona @JRC00875 @hbrooks_coach Falcao ripped Chelsea apart in a super cup, why does it matter in a 1 off game?

@JRC00875 @hbrooks_coach Why would you be so fucking dim as to pin it down to trophies, and by competition? R9 lit the world on fire when he dismantled United in, oh yes, the UCL. You're just being tribal now.

@AdeolaAlabi84 @mufc0717 @hbrooks_coach He’s also majorly at fault for goals 2 and 3 in the first half. He also fails to close down a simple cross which led to the ‘that’ Shevchenko chance but yeah, he dragged Liverpool to victory 😂😂

@mufc0717 @hbrooks_coach How many times did he do this? That night at Istanbul..and..??

@Critch1605 @jason_isaia @FootballFunnys Best doesn’t mean most complete, that’s ridiculous. Haaland is nowhere near the most complete striker in the world, he hardly touches the ball in build up for city yet he scores buckets full of goals. Do you think he’s one of the best strikers on the planet?

@MACarrollCFC @jason_isaia @FootballFunnys And yet none of this contributes to an argument of Lampard being more complete. That’s why everyone who isn’t a Chelsea fan rates Gerrard higher.

Jamie Carragher has released his list of the top 10 midfielders in Premier League history...

@Critch1605 @jason_isaia @FootballFunnys Gerrard cost his own team the 2005 league cup final with an own goal 😂 Lampard Assisted winner 07 Fa Cup final Scored equaliser 08 CL final Scored winner 09 FA cup final Missed late pen 10 FA cup final Assisted winner 12 FA cup final SG didn’t win the 05 final on his own 😂😂

@MACarrollCFC @jason_isaia @FootballFunnys Influenced more finals? Gerrard basically won an FA Cup Final and a Champions League Final on his own lol

@MushBosh @ChelseaJF14 @SkySportsPL @Carra23 What’s he doing standing in open space and not stopping the cross 😂 He was dogshit defensively that day but everyone makes out he is so good defensively 😂 Rafa didn’t trust him in midfield for a reason. Imagine having the “best” CM in the world and not wanting to play him there

@MACarrollCFC @ChelseaJF14 @SkySportsPL @Carra23 Blaming him for a cross from there getting in 😭😭

"His strength was he didn't have a weakness" @Carra23 explains why Steven Gerrard is the best Premier League midfielder of all-time for him 💬

@Critch1605 @jason_isaia @FootballFunnys youtu.be/acWYWFmbtsw?si… Carragher doesn’t care about who is more complete when it comes to the GOATs. Strange how the goalposts move to suit an agenda. Lampard scores more, assists more, wins more, plays more and influenced more finals than Gerrard too

@MACarrollCFC @jason_isaia @FootballFunnys And yet still doesn’t contend with my original point, which is that all those players listed above Lampard are way more complete than him.

@MushBosh @ChelseaJF14 @SkySportsPL @Carra23 “He even played right back that night” This is your man failing to stop a cross because he couldn’t be bothered and it leads to the insane Dudek save from Shevchenko. This should easily have lost Liverpool the game

@MushBosh @ChelseaJF14 @SkySportsPL @Carra23 Thanks for bringing up that final. Watch Gerrard first half as a 6 marking Kaka and tell me who is at fault for not marking Kaka for 2 of the 3 goals in the biggest game of his career. There is a reason Hamaan was subbed on at HT to do that job… youtube.com/watch?v=3ojXHf…

@Critch1605 @jason_isaia @FootballFunnys Where is Gerrard from the 08/09 season? 😂😂 Lampard is here from that year… Only good at goalscoring apparently

@Critch1605 @jason_isaia @FootballFunnys You said lampard was only good at one thing. Proved you wrong You said Gerrard only played as a 10 in one season. Proved you wrong Proved you wrong several times and you resort to homophobia, very classy 🥶

@Critch1605 @jason_isaia @FootballFunnys No, you said 08/09 was the only season Gerrard played as a 10. I showed that was incorrect. Lampard put down record numbers to this day that season 09/10

@MACarrollCFC @jason_isaia @FootballFunnys Torres was also injured for a lot of the 09/10 season, think he only played 20 odd games and some of them were from the bench. I remember Gerrard even played quite a few games on the right in 09/10. In 08/09 he was consistently a 10.

@Critch1605 @jason_isaia @FootballFunnys Lies

@MACarrollCFC @jason_isaia @FootballFunnys Premier league top scorers and assists for the 08/09 season. The only season where Gerrard played at a number 10.

@Critch1605 @jason_isaia @FootballFunnys Lampard played as an 8 on the left of a 3 man midfield, he wasn’t a 10. Gerrard played behind Torres for more than 1 season as a 10. How come Lampard destroyed his stats in 09/10 if you want to base it off 1 individual season?

@MACarrollCFC @jason_isaia @FootballFunnys Lampard played way higher up the pitch and with a much better team. The fact that he only narrowly edges out Gerrard in these stats despite playing way higher up the pitch tells you everything. Gerrard played a 10 for 1 season and beat Lampard on stats in that season.
